Chapter 184: The Victory Shocked the Court! Rewards!
Zhao Gao immediately bowed and took the battle report.
Then he turned around, walked to the stairs, opened the battle report, and read loudly: "Sima Kuaipu of the Central Army of Wu'an Camp is reporting!"
"Wu'an Camp respects the king's edict and launches troops against Wei at the time specified by the king's edict."
"The whole army of the camp attacks Wei."
"In half a day, all five thousand troops and sentries stationed on Wei's border were annihilated."
"The troops are coming to Yang Gaocheng Empress."
"General Zhao Feng ordered an attack on the city. He used our great Qin tactics to wash the whole city with arrows and suppress the Wei army."
"After half an hour of bloodbath with arrows, General Zhao Feng personally led the vanguard army to attack the city. In one day, he broke through Yanggao City and fought fiercely with the Wei army in the city."
"at the same time."
"The Wei army spread fire-starters all over the city of Yanggao. When our Qin soldiers completely invaded the city and were unable to retreat, they set fire to the city."
"General Zhao Feng saw an opportunity and led his troops to leave Yanggao City when they broke through the outer city. The Wei army lit the fire in time and burned the city."
"In the end, when the city was burned down, more than 100,000 Wei soldiers and civilians perished in the sea of flames. Wei General Long Zhang led his troops out of the city with the intention of attacking our military camp. General Zhao Feng had already ordered the cavalry camp to surround and outflank us, and the final battle would be decided. "
"The 150,000 Wei troops stationed in Yanggao City were all annihilated by our Great Qin Wu'an Camp."
"Our Wu'an camp suffered only thirty thousand casualties, with only eight thousand killed and more than twenty thousand wounded."
"A great victory over the Wei army."
Although Zhao Gao's voice was hoarse, it was loud.
The results of this battle belonging to Wu'an Camp were spread throughout the court.
Hear the result.
The entire court was silent.
It seemed that no one could have imagined that such a result would be achieved in just three days.
Wei's 150,000-strong army was burned to the ground like this!
and.
This strategy of burning the city was unexpectedly understood by Zhao Feng in advance. If not, the consequences would have been hundreds of thousands of Qin casualties.
"Zhao Feng actually defeated Yanggao City in three days. Is Wei so weak?"
"Damn it, if the success of destroying Wei falls on Zhao Feng again this time, then he will be completely unable to suppress it, and his military exploits will be stronger than other generals. Doesn't that mean that he is very likely to be the national captain in the future? Is it his?"
"No, we can't go on like this."
"Otherwise, one day Zhao Feng will really aspire to the position of national captain, and that will be a disaster."
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were in a state of confusion at this moment.
Before the battle report came, they started to praise Huan Yi as a way to pave the way. As long as Huan Yi took the lead in breaking the city, there would be a great chance that all the merits of the subsequent war would be placed on Huan Yi.
After all, the destruction of Wei this time required the use of two large camps and two battles, but in the end there was only one result, and that was the destruction of Wei.
And the war situation of a country can affect the whole body.
If Huan Yi breaks the city first, Wei will definitely rearrange its defenses. Even if Zhao Feng breaks the city later, his military exploits will definitely not be as great as Huan Yi's. Wang Wan and others will also use this argument to lower Zhao Feng's military exploits. , Even if Zhao Feng really breaks through the capital of Wei in the future, this can be used as an excuse.
But the current situation is completely different from what they thought.
Zhao Feng took the lead in conquering the border town and had an advantage.
After a moment of calm in the court.
Wei Liao was the first to speak: "He is worthy of being General Zhao Feng. With such a commanding force and the ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities, the Wei army of 150,000 was burned to the ground in just three days. He is truly the unparalleled General of our Great Qin."
"good."
"Once Yanggao City is broken, Wei's county soldiers will definitely not be able to stop the Wu'an camp. Perhaps within a month or two, General Zhao Feng will be able to attack the main beam of the Wei capital." Li Si also laughed and agreed. .
"I congratulate you, Your Majesty."
"Wu'an Camp achieved such military success in just three days. This is the joy of the king and the joy of the Qin Dynasty."
"The destruction of Wei is just around the corner."
"I congratulate you, Your Majesty."
"The king has lived for ten thousand years, the Qin has lived for ten thousand years..."
The entire court was filled with congratulations.
Ying Zheng also had a joyful smile on his face. Compared to the calmness he once had, his smile was completely undisguised at this moment.
"Zhao Feng really surprised Gu."
"As early as when Zhao was destroyed, Wei was already on guard against our great Qin. Wei Wuji devoted all his efforts to recruiting troops to strengthen his army."
"Even if we attack an army of 150,000 people for several days, it will take ten days and a half to annihilate it."
"But Zhao Feng wiped out all the 150,000 Wei troops in just three days."
"There is no doubt about his military exploits."
"This is the first achievement in attacking Wei." Ying Zheng said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
This sentence.
It also knocked down everything Wang Wan and the others mentioned before. All their praises just now fell on Zhao Feng.
"Great King Shengming."
"Wu'an Camp took the lead in breaking through Wei's defense line, which can affect the entire Wei war situation. This is a great achievement and deserves a heavy reward." Li Si immediately stood up and agreed.
Now that Zhao Feng has made such great achievements, his son will naturally also have military exploits in Wu'an Camp.
Li Si naturally wanted to speak for Wu'an Camp.
"good."
Ying Zheng also responded loudly.
Immediately before the ministers came to their senses, Ying Zheng waved his hand and shouted with authority: "Prepare the imperial edict!"
"Wu'an General Zhao Feng led his army to break through the Wei border and annihilated 150,000 enemy troops. This was a great victory for Wei, which was enough to collapse Wei's defense line. It was a great achievement."
"now."
"Give Zhao a rank promotion and the title of [Shao Shang Zao]."
"Give me a thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand coins, a hundred pieces of jade, and five hundred slaves."
Ying Zheng's words resounded throughout the court.
This happened suddenly.
No one expected that Ying Zheng would suddenly directly grant a promotion.
Promoted to the rank of junior master, to the fifteenth level of knighthood!
This is already on par with Huan Yi and Meng Wu, but only one level lower than Wang Jian.
The addition of this title will completely stabilize Zhao Feng's position as the guard captain.
"Your Majesty."
"Now that the Wei Kingdom has not yet been destroyed, is it too early to re-enclose it like this?"
Wang Wan stood up bravely and said.
"If the Prime Minister can annihilate 150,000 Wei troops in just three days, Gu can also give you a reward." Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Wan and said lightly.
This sentence.
Wang Wan was immediately choked.
Zhao Feng's military exploits were enough to shut anyone up.
Under the crown bead curtain, Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Wan with a cold look.
Ying Zheng was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Wan being so aggressive and targeting Zhao Feng.
Now Ying Zheng has begun to make arrangements for his son's return. Military achievements and promotion are the key.
Wang Wan's actions actually provided a way to kill him.
"Wei Qing."
"Send this reward edict to Wu'an Camp as soon as possible."
"And tell Zhao Feng."
"Gu Yi will not interfere with matters on the battlefield, matters in the Wu'an camp, or matters of conquest."
"Gu, I am looking forward to the day when he returns from destroying Wei." Ying Zheng said with authority.
"I accept the edict."
"I will definitely order someone to convey the king's holy will." Wei Liao responded immediately.
Ying Zheng nodded and looked down at the court: "Now that the warriors of our Wu'an camp have won the victory in Wei, the war has been successful, but the allocation of food, grass and baggage affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of warriors of our Qin Dynasty."
"Prime Minister, Feng Qing."
"This matter is entirely left to you."
"I don't want anything to go wrong with this matter of food and grass. If this affects the situation of the war, I will never let you go lightly." Ying Zheng said extremely seriously, with endless pressure.
Obviously.
After seeing Wang Wan and the others targeting Zhao Feng in the court, Ying Zheng became even more worried. If he used food and grass to tamper with him, it would definitely be a big deal, so he came in front of the entire court. Threatening them, they would definitely not dare to mess around.
"I understand." Wang Wan and Feng Quji responded immediately.
The reason why the allocation of food and grass is handled by the two of them is obvious. They are mutual checks and balances. This is also the control of royal power.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"You should be alert to the burning of Yanggao City."
"I think we should immediately send someone to deliver a message to General Huan Yi, telling him not to advance rashly." Wei Liao stood up again and started to speak.
"Wei Wuji."
"He is indeed an outstanding person."
"With the life of a city, if Zhao Feng hadn't been vigilant, perhaps the Wu'an camp would not have survived." Ying Zheng said with emotion on his face.
Although the burning of the city was only shown in the battle report, Ying Zheng could also imagine that if he really did not see through Wei Wuji's plan and the army completely entered the city and was inextricable, it would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
and.
My son always takes the lead in every battle and always rushes to the front.
No matter who told him, he would not take it seriously. He would agree with the front foot and continue to charge with the back foot.
Think of this.
Ying Zheng also felt a sense of fear in his heart: "Fortunately, this kid was alert and saw Wei Wuji's vicious plan, otherwise the Wei army would have set fire to the city, and that kid would have been in danger."
This poisonous plan.
I have to say it is extremely cruel.
Wei Wuji even directly used a city's soldiers and civilians as victims, which was so vicious that no one could have imagined.
"Wei Wuji's strategy is to destroy both jade and stone."
"This is also his plan to bet on the fate of Wei State."
"It's a pity that he met General Zhao Feng and saw through his strategy."
"Otherwise, if his plan succeeds, our Wu'an camp will not survive, and the Wei State will even directly send troops north to attack our Da Qin."
"That's when."
"We, the Qin Dynasty, are about to face a serious crisis, and other countries will inevitably wait for the opportunity to take action because of this." Wei Liao also said very seriously.
With his strategic vision in Guigu, he naturally clearly saw what Wei Wuji was planning.
Nowadays, the Qin Dynasty is powerful, its troops are pointed at the front, and its tiger and wolf divisions make other countries fearful.
Therefore.
Qi and Yan did not dare to make any changes.
But if the Wei State gains a victory on the battlefield and even counterattacks the Qin Dynasty, this will inevitably cause a chain of events.
It can be said.
If they lose this battle in Yanggaocheng, it will have a huge impact.
"That's why."
"Zhao Feng made the most contribution in this battle."
"If we really fall into Wei Wuji's plan of destroying both jade and stone, we, the Qin Dynasty, will suffer great losses." Ying Zheng also said very seriously, and the praise for Zhao Feng was very obvious in his tone.
"Wei Qing, what you said is correct."
"You send a message to Huan Yi and ask him to deal with it carefully. He must not fall into Wei Wuji's plan to burn the city."
Come to your senses.
Ying Zheng immediately explained to Wei Liao.
"I accept the edict." Wei Liao responded immediately.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"After our great Qin launched an army against Wei, Qi, Chu, and Yan all sent envoys to ask for an audience."
"I wonder if your Majesty will grant an audience?" Wei Zhuang asked respectfully.
"If they want to see Gu, let them see him." Ying Zheng sneered and waved his hand.
although.
Ying Zheng knew what the envoys from the three countries were going to do, but since they came with state etiquette, they should meet each other under etiquette.
The voice fell.
"The king has an edict."
"Summon the envoys from Qi, Chu and Yan to the palace to meet the king."
Zhao Gao shouted at the top of his lungs.
Not long after.
Three men in foreign official uniforms walked into the hall quickly.
They were the envoys from Chu, Qi and Yan.
"Qu Yang, the envoy from Chu, meets the King of Qin."
"Ji Chang, the envoy from Yan, meets the King of Qin."
"Yan Xun, the envoy from Qi, meets the King of Qin."
After the envoys from the three countries entered the hall, they all bowed to Ying Zheng, who was on a high position.
"No need to be polite."
Ying Zheng raised his hand.
"Thank you, King Qin." The three said in unison, and then stood up straight.
"What's the matter with the envoys from the three countries meeting together?" Ying Zheng asked very calmly.
Hearing this.
The envoys of Qi and Yan both cast their eyes on the envoys of Chu.
Obviously.
At this moment, they came mainly for Chu.
Feeling the gaze, the envoy of Chu was not afraid, but stepped forward slowly, clasped his fists and said: "Foreign ministers are here on the order of Chunshen Jun to ask the King of Qin to withdraw his troops from Wei."
"Is this the purpose of your coming to Chu? Or, are you Qi and Yan also here for this?" Ying Zheng's tone could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but a terrifying pressure suddenly emerged in the whole hall.
Facing Ying Zheng's words.
The envoys of Qi and Yan bowed their heads and said nothing, obviously not daring to come forward.
But the envoy of Chu raised his head and was not afraid at all.
"It is better to resolve the enemy than to make him."
"Although Wei State launched troops against Qin State, it also knew that it was wrong, and repeatedly requested to see the King of Qin to atone for its sins. Please forgive Wei State this time." The envoy of Chu State said in a tone of moral kidnapping.
"If I don't forgive you, what will you do, Chu?" Wei Liao said coldly.
"Wei attacked my Great Qin and killed my people, just because of a word from you, Chu. Do you think my millions of elite soldiers are made of mud?" Li Si also said coldly.
"If this is the purpose of your meeting with the king, then leave quickly."
"Get lost."
"My Great Qin does not welcome people like you, Chu."
"My Great Qin has already sent troops, what do you think?"
"If you have the ability, you, Chu, will send troops to help Wei."
"Does my Great Qin fear you, Chu?"
...
Ministers and court officials glared at the Chu envoys and scolded them.
Faced with this situation.
The envoys of Qi and Yan lowered their heads and dared not say much.
The face of the Chu envoy also showed a hint of anger, but also a little more fear.
However.
He came on orders, or on the orders of Chunshen Jun.
He was naturally fearless.
"If the King of Qin is unwilling to withdraw his troops, maybe our Great Chu will really send troops to help Wei." The Chu envoy shouted.
"Then I will wait and see."
Ying Zheng shouted coldly.
He waved his hand: "Send you away."
Ren Xiong came with a group of guards and came directly to the envoys of the three countries.
"Three envoys, please."
Ren Xiong stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"I hope the King of Qin will not regret it in the future." The Chu envoy waved his sleeves and left with a bit of arrogance.
"King Qin, see you someday."
"This matter is what Chu wants, and it has something to do with our Qi and Wu." The Qi envoy said immediately.
"This matter has nothing to do with our Yan State. Our Yan State and Great Qin are allies." The Yan envoy also said immediately.
And Ying Zheng just watched quietly, without any intention of paying attention to them.
Seeing Ying Zheng's attitude, the envoys of the two countries left with a sense of uneasiness.
After the envoys of the three countries left,
Wang Wan immediately stood up: "Your Majesty."
"From the attitude of Chu, they must have set their sights on our Great Qin. This old minister is absolutely certain that we must increase our precautions against Chu."
"I second the proposal."
"Chu has been ignorant of etiquette since its founding, and it is barbaric."
"We must guard against this country."
The entire court of civil and military officials stood up to agree.
Ying Zheng raised his hand, and the entire court fell silent.
"Chu."
"It's nothing to worry about."
"You don't need to worry too much."
"Now the focus of the country is to destroy Wei."
"Okay."
"If you don't have anything to say, then the court will be dismissed."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and looked down at the court.
"Your ministers have nothing to say."
Everything that should be discussed today has been discussed, so there is naturally no need to say more.
"Dismiss the court." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
The ministers shouted.
Inside Zhangtai Palace!
Only Dun Ruo stood in front of Ying Zheng.
"Why didn't Wei Wuji's plan of burning everything together be discovered?" Ying Zheng said directly, with a somewhat indifferent expression.
"I am incompetent."
"Wei Wuji's plan was kept very secret."
"The Black Ice Platform has not found out." Dun Ruo immediately bowed, looking terrified.
"I will not allow this to happen again."
"If it weren't for Feng'er's alertness, he might have been buried in the sea of fire in Yanggao City." Ying Zheng said very seriously, with a hint of anger on his face.
If it were any other situation, Ying Zheng might be able to tolerate it, but this time his son experienced the burning of the city. If he hadn't noticed it, Ying Zheng might have experienced unbearable pain.
So.
He would not allow this kind of thing to happen again.
"I accept the order."
"We must build a big black ice platform to investigate Wei." Dun Ruo bowed immediately.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, and his cold face gradually relaxed.
"The envoy of Chu State is here."
"I guess Huang Xie wants to mobilize troops against my Great Qin." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"What the king said is correct."
"Chu State is already mobilizing troops now." Dun Ruo said immediately.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"Huang Xie, the old man, should have died long ago." Ying Zheng said coldly.
"I will send the secret soldiers of Chu State to do it immediately."
"Huang Xie, he should die." Dun Ruo replied immediately.
"There are three households in Chu, and many people want Huang Xie to die."
"This time, Huang Xie must die."
"If you can't complete it, you don't need to come back to see me." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said nothing more.
Dun Ruo bowed and retreated respectfully.
"Huang Xie, Chu."
"After we deal with Wei, the next one will be your Chu."
"How dare you come to my Qin to threaten me to withdraw my troops."
Ying Zheng had a cold face and was full of pressure.
Just then!
"Aung."
"We are here again."
"Aung, we want to eat delicious food."
The voices of the two little guys came in from outside. Hearing the voices, the coldness on Ying Zheng's face disappeared, followed by a kind smile.
...
